Door on WD420 will not open

I do not know, but I guess that a "bad" handling of the machine during a move may have maligned parts.

This is only a guess.

check door interlock

you did not giver manufacturer, model and year, it is not possible therefore to give detailed info what to do - for future references - do provide these "little" details, telepathy is overrated and usually do not work...

from your description can be several causes of that, one of them is motherboard fault, another will be actuator and third can be mechanical fault within lock or with hinge... make your pick...

Has it emptied all water out ??

Hi,


Make sure you are allowing the washer to completely finish its cycle before opening the door. It is normal for the door to lock at the end of a cycle. The locking mechanism keeps owners from opening the door before all of the water has been drained. If the door on the washer is locked, select the "Drain" or "Spin" options on the front-load washer. This will completely drain the water from the system and unlock the door, allowing you to open it.

Thank you !!

It happened on our machine. The soloution to this for me was to take the lid off (two screws). Unplugged from mains. I found the connector to the door had vibrated off and was just hanging loose. Plugged it back in and it worked straight away.Door opens as normal.
Don't forget to look in the manual for how to get the door open in an emergency

Hi,
Thank You for contacting Fixya.com
The most common cause of this problem is
1. A faulty or broken door catch.
2. A faulty interlock. This is the part that the door closes in to.
also worth checking the spring inside the door lock mechanism attatched to the door, as these can become dislodged.
To open the door you will either require an engineer as the repair necesitates the removal of the lid. The engineer will ensure the machine is disconnected from mains of course. He will double check power is off before reaching down inside the machine to press over the door latch, which is just visible as a white pointed object, poking through the door mechanism. The engineer will push it towards the door seal.
Some older models have other devices that will prevent machine opening if it has not pumped out fully, or mechanical devices that check for drum rotation that can be knocked during the spin. Could really do with age and model No. of machine.

Have a nice day.

Perhaps you are putting to much in it, poor machine, give it a break in its old age! All the Best -the Yeti PS leave room for the water!

Press the start cancel button for at least 2 seconds, switch off, leave for 2 mins,switch on again holding the botton for 2 secs, then press start cancel buuton again for at least 2 seconds, hope fully ,this should do ths trick.

Thanks
